Intoxicate Me

Intoxicate me in You....... Let me get lost in You! Let me fall at your feet in sweet worship to You! Fill my nostrils with your sweet aroma! Tickle my nose hairs with Your fragrance of love. Let the vision of Your Holiness dance before me. Your lips part a smile as my voice sings adoration to You. Let my ears ring as I hear you call my name- "Sweet Daughter of Mine" Place my hand in Yours as You lead me to Your Righteousness. Intoxicate me in You oh Lord!

Imitator.....

Last night during prayer service at House of Triumph Ministries I witnessed the most beautiful exchange between father & son. When I picked my son, Nazir,  up from school, he insisted on bring Superman home with him. Superman is his sleeping bag that he has at school. So I brought it home.  When we were leaving for church that evening, he yet again insisted on bringing Superman with him. I thought great, he plans on falling asleep at the church.  We got to the church and my husband, Stephen, began setting up the sanctuary for prayer. He brought out the pillows from off the couch in the front and took his prayer shawl and draped it over himself.  As I led off the prayer, Stephen knelt down against one of the chairs and began praying.  Nazir was playing with his Leapster while we were setting up but as soon as he heard me praying he stopped playing it. He looked at his dad kneeling down and got in his sleeping bag and laid down on the chairs.  As the pr...

Not Just visitation.........

So this morning while I was praying....I asked God to never let me leave His presence. I don't just want visitation but i want habitation.  I asked Him how do I do this. He asked me what does Psalm 34:1 say? I said it says: I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. He said well you know that I inhabit the praises of my people (according to Psalm 22:3). I said yes Lord.  Then He responded live Psalm 34:1. If you continually praise me, I will inhabit your praise.The word continually means without cessation or intermission; unceasingly; always. The word inhabit means to live or dwell in (a place), as people; to exist or be situated within; dwell in.  When we always have a praise of thanks giving for God, He will dwell within us....Many times we complain that we don't feel God's presence. Are you praising Him?  Are you blessing His name?  Praise is not something you do on Sunday morning "when the beat drops". You ...

Keep Pressing

Philippians 3:13-14 “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus”. Stay focused and determined to what awaits you. Don’t look back and get distracted by the emptiness of the past but press to the fullness of the futures.   Sometimes when you feel like you are running this race alone, just look down and remember where you are and you will know that you are not alone. Kind of ironic how my sister is in lane 3…. She’s a part of team Trinity: Father, Son & Holy Spirit.  

Take A Stand

This is what God shared with me this morning in my prayer time: Leaders it’s time we address the sin in the camp. We have to call out the sin that’s running rampant in the house of God. It’s time to truly take a stand for truth, holiness & righteousness.   Stop being afraid of man! Who is man and what can he do to you?   We must address the homosexuality, the shacking, the lust, the pride.....call it out!   So what if you have to sit down some musicians, intercessors, ministers and deacons.   Do you fear them or God? We must bring back the reverential fear of God back into the hearts of man. Leadership is a form of worship…..when we worship we do it in spirit and truth. There is no truth when there is sin being covered up. Obedience is a form of worship.   Obedience is better than sacrifice. You’re sacrificing the presence of God resting in your camp when you aren’t obedient in leading.   Stand up man of God! Speak out woman of God! God is the same tod...

Wrestlemania....

This last week I was kind of in a funk…not funky lol but just feeling blah.   I let the cares of my world get to me. I had to fall asleep listening to music because my mind would not slow down long enough for me to fall asleep.   Yesterday evening I found myself sitting in my room in the dark with the door closed….just…didn’t even know what I was thinking…… I got up this morning and said my prayer as I got ready for work….it was a tough morning because Nazir seemed EXTRA cranky. Surprisingly, I didn’t let that get to me. As I drove to work I had Pastor Lloyd Pulley tuned in on my radio.   But I really wasn’t listening.   All of a sudden something hit me…….no not a car thankfully. The Holy Spirit hit me.   He was like “child of God what are you doing?”   He didn’t need to say much more after that.   I was like you right.   I began to encourage myself.   I began to speak against this funk and call it out of me.   I told the enemy he ne...

Am I Ready For This??????!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!

I am scared………No, I’m terrified! I can’t even front no more. There I admitted it!   I’ve come face to face with death….but that only scared me….I’ve seen my life flash before my eyes, wondering if I would live to see another day…yet that only scared me….But what I’m about to do is so terrifying……We are about to open the doors of our church and I’m terrified!!!!! Never in my life did I think I would marry someone who was predestined to be a Pastor….but never in my life did I think I would be Pastoring a church with my predestined Pastor husband. I think “reality” kicked in for me these past two weeks. We’ve been doing the renovations to the building God blessed us with to house the ministry.   Where we have set up camp is right in the middle of Sodom & Gomorrah.   We are in the thick of a sin infested area that needs true deliverance.   I’m terrified because I don’t know it all….Even if I did know it all I would still be terrified.   I’m terrified because...

What are we teaching our little girls?

Last week a friend had this picture posted on his facebook page. I was so upset by this. It's interesting how many comments he got on his page but when I shared it, no one commented. But whatever. The comments on his page were that of shock and disbelief. I then shared it on my twitter and a lot of my followers asked me if this is something that was real or just a joke. I'm pretty sure this is a real product. I searched for it but I really couldn't find anything about the manufacturer. But what makes me so sad is that there are some mothers out there who actually bought this for their daughters thinking it was cute.  Really? is this something you want to give a 6 or 7 year old as a gift?  What are you imparting into that child by sowing this gift in her life? Being an exotic dancer is NOT all it's cracked up to be.  Sure the money may be good, in the beginning, but that "high" soon wears off.  You may remember the movie "The Players Club"....yea th...
